What the petition asks
The 6 weeks period to much for parents and children to deal with. We get told time and time again that children need stability and routine and then the government decide to flip this on its head and give them 6 weeks off! For both children and parent mental health, this needs to be reviewed!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government doesn't set school holiday dates. These are the responsibility of individual schools and local councils.
